and I have no problem to get count of "likes" with FieldRef Name='LikesCount' but I wonder if is it possible to add "Like" button to each element using SPServices? and then display elements as divs like this:

  • You can do CSR using JSLinks. Basically you handle how the field should get rendered.

  • Correct me if I am wrong but you are talking about modifying current list view and rearrange elements to display as I want?

  • Yes. You can do what goes where and how it should be displayed etc. In your case I believe you just need to handle how the like field is rendered

there's a JS function called set like that can help you, you might want to try to mix CSOm and JSOM to create the functionality you want

you only need 4 parameters the clientcontext (which is loaded for the site that contains the list)
the ListId
the ItemID
the Value =True to like/False to unlike

Microsoft.Office.Server.ReputationModel.Reputation.setLike(ClientContext,listId,ItemId,Value)

then you can execute your queryasync and switch the label text to like/unlike depending the like status.

you'll still need to query somehow the item's likecount field to check if the users has liked the item before adding the like/unlike button
